But I did. And they were very cool (singer Thomas Mars is so cool he's one half of the world's coolest couple with incredibly cool director Sofia Coppola, thus meaning he's now married into and enhancing the cool of the world's coolest family) and even shared details of their favourite Metallica theme bar in Paris. On a personal note, I managed to stop myself from asking them to play at my wedding, which represents real progress for me.

So, you should check out our interview video above and then buy Bankrupt! almost immediately after. It's uniformly brilliant from beginning to end, stockpiled with giddying choruses, stupefyingly odd melodies and lyrics about terrible '80s aftershaves, bartending on cruise ships and marrying someone on a tuesday. It even does that lovely thing where tracks repeat elements of previous tracks and you recognise it and think, "Ah, that was really cool."

It's great, they're great.
